Note: I do not own Naruto or any of its Characters. I'll try to follow the story line but obviously since their trying to change things, things will change. Also I am not sure how to spell some things or even make a character sound like they would on the anime so I'm going to do my best ok? Enjoy the story!
PROLOGUE If you could save your family, your friends, and your village would you do it? If yes, what if you knew of taking that choice you'd become someone else as to not destroy yourself as one can not exist in another time line? Would you give up it all just to be able to save them all? If yes again, you are exactly like us. Naruto Uzamaki-Namakaze our Hokage gave us a mission. A mission we accepted despite the costs. Though it will be weird to see the former younger me and him that were no longer us it would allow us to be able to move freely to drastically change things in this time line for a better one for the future. I am formally known as Sakura Hanuro Head Medic of Konaha and the Five United Nations who banded against Madara Uchiha in The Fourth but Greatest of the Shinobi wars. In the end there was nothing left and in his final moments I and Shikamaru Nara seconed in command to the Hokage and head stradigist, the last two survivors took this mission and all that came with it. We didn't know who'd we'd be reborn as, where we'd be, or even if we'd reconize each other. For what seemed like forever I slept dull sounds surrounding me until quiet suddenly light startled a cry from me along with the absurd cold.
"No! Give them back!," A woman cried out as my unhelpful blurry vission cleared and I knew it must have been a nightmare. As gleefully stareing down at me was Orochimaru, a great enemy. I cried out as any new born baby shocked at this turn of events. Another cry close by told me another baby was also in distress. Turning ever so slightly as my uncornated self could I spotted a baby in his subbordnates arms and when our eyes met I knew it was Shikamaru what power the fox Kurama intergrated with us told us that much. We were brother and sister now. "I'll kill you," Turning again I felt my eyes widen at the clearly weak but healing the cut from her stomach Tsande Senju, my Shishou, teacher, and now in this life it seemed, my mother.
"Ku ku ku, Tsande don't be so bleak. When I heard you and that fool Jiraiya got drunk and then he and you were going to be parents I just had to come say congradulations. Thank you my dear. Their chakra could be what I'm looking for. Such perfect specimens. Wish I could stay but I hear unwanted house guests and now with my prizes I really must be on my way," Cackling he moved quickly as she tried to follow but obviously we were not born naturally if the blood off of his sword was anything to go by. Oh Hell what we're we going to do now? Our luck didn't seem to be all that great. Wait... Did he say JIRAIYA!
Note to all and any time reborn ninja. When in the arms of a madman and wanting to escape do not wait until you are far from the safety of your village to do so. The sudden drama took its toll and I must have fallen asleep until jostled enough to be set roughly down on the cold ground so said Madman could fight off, to my surprise, my new mom and dad and the Yodaime Hokage. Whimpering I flinched when a pudgy hand uncerimonially lightly bopped my face as I struggled to look to see calm very warm dark eyes I knew well. Shadow seemed to pool from him before lightly pulling us away from the battle. It looked as if his contract with the Battle Shadow Deers was not void as soon a very young buck was carefully carrying us with our blanket in his mouth.
Shortly before the real big battles Shikamaru found a surviving deer in Konaha's destruction he took care of the little off colored doe until she was all better and she went off into the unknown. Imagine his surprise when she returned during a battle with not just hundreds but thousands of battle deers saving the day in a losing battle. Her name was Moon Eyes for her eyes were white and she was the daughter of Rikumaru of the Battle deer summons. They offered him a contract like his ancestors oh so long ago and thus Kuromaru his new deer would live in his shadow. Shikamaru now had the capabilities to summon all the deer but they could enter through his shadow so he didn't have to use his chakra by stepping out of it. Though now looking young and minus his huge horned rack Kuromaru was still quiet big for a younger then the future deer and he was black like all his race with spots on his back that glowed dimly like starlight. He moved quickly me and my new brother smooshed together but it was warm and meeting his weary eyes I knew he was tired too. I wondered if we'd ever find our way back for as shadows began to swirl arround us Kuromaru was taking us somewhere.
CHAPTER ONE Three years in the Summoners world was a good thing but as we watched from a very distant mountain as the Kyuubi no Kitsune rampaged, it reminded us of our mission and we knew Naruto needed us more then anything now. Kaguya the Queen of the deer renamed us Setsumo and Setsumi for that was who we are. The fox was sealed now it was time to go home. Taking my hand Sumo- Aniki as I called him now helped me down from the rock we sat on, his pale bushy blonde hair so much like the perverted Toad Sage's short for now matched mine which was white and a little more flat in the back. We wore plain Yukata's worn with all our traveling.
"Onii-chan when do think we'll make it to the village without useing shadow to transport us?" I questioned so used to my squeeky voice by now it didn't bother me that much anymore as he shrugged.
"Three days and we need them we won't be the only "orphans" surviving the Kyuubi's rampage through the contryside. It will allow us to look just pathetic enough to be let in," He mused tiredly yawning "But boy this is so Mendoske". Stretching his arms as I smiled. "A Senju now but still the soul of a Nara, I'm glad that some things haven't changed yet. But they will eventually take note of us. We look like them now and already even if its only a speck we both will recieve Jiraiya's clan marks on our faces," I pointed out the small spot of red on his eyes as he sighed. Soon the lazy Nara wouldn't be feeling so lazy as with new lives come new personalities. Climbing down the mountain we began our trek to home, to our Hokage Naruto, and our future.
The gate was barely being watched with all sorts of wounded farmers and people coming in. We, covered in dirt blended in all the same hiding our Chakra and keeping our heads down. I could feel him. Our brother, our Naruto, and he was distressed. No doubt from the crowd outside the Hospital with all the civilians screaming and even some Shinobi. We entered all the same finding the room where a baby was left purposly alone. He was in need of a fresh diaper change. Stepping through the door I glanced down as the seals flared no doubt telling someone that another had entered that wasn't keyed to them. Setsumo laid him gently on the hospital bed the blonde blue eyed baby was sniffling puffy eyes red from his constant crying. My brother was quick to change him, having had a son in the past life with his former wife Temari. Though it will nver happen again. "Temari is Shikamaru's only one. No longer will I see her as mine. She will be a friend and a beautiful one at that but the lazy Nara will need her" He had said. We had been playing with Naruto for two minutes when we felt the Anbu surround the building and The Hokage appear. Jiraiya must have only now noticed his seals going off like fireworks. Naruto was in my arms having been fed from the bottle and formula we brought I gently rocked him to sleep he yawned a little oh as I giggled with Setsumo.
"Isn't he cute?" I giggled "I'm glad we came in. Those stupid people leaveing him alone. What if one of the citizens or angry Shinobi came in. He was crying, they've would have found him in no time... How can a baby be a monster Aniki?" I asked knowing that as I layed him gently down between two pillows that we were being listened to and watched. Sumo slid down and ran to our packs. Rifleing through it.
"People fear what they don't understand Imouto (Is Omouto the boy version?). Like the farmers who raised us. We are different. They didn't understand thus the only answer was our death," He pulled out a small baby blanket "Our lives will be full of that but I'm glad we listened to the Deer to come live here after the attack. He's not the fox Sumi-nee but the jailer look at the marks on his belly. I heard a man talk about seals. That must be one. He's not the fox but people won't see it that way. They'll hurt him simply because they can," He struggled to climb up again his legs pinwheeling before he got up completely. He wrapped the blanket gently arround Naruto. "The Battle Deer say that he is like us. "Monsters" we are all the same. We share different fates but the title will follow us no matter what we want," He intoned voice young but his eyes spoke survival. I nodded.
"Then lets adopt him," I chirped as he stared at me then at Naruto, a smirk appearing. "I'll be the big sister and you can be his Aniki too. Your really good at it Sumo-nii so it will be like getting another cute sibling without having to wait for a mommy to get unfat. He's been born already. So now he's ours to protect and love," I chirped picking him up just as the building shook. We gasped moving arround a stirring and whimpering Naruto. Something hit the window the fuze disolving.
"Sumi-nee move!" He yelled as we jumped off the bed the small bomb going off. I screamed as the glass shattered arround us. Sumo had flipped the bed to protect us. The door slammed open as we glanced up to see a livid Hokage and an angry Jiraiya. Both glanced at us. Sumo had moved forward his stance protective between them and me holding Naruto. But observing the older men he looked to the window as rocks and things were thrown in. He growled lowly as I tried to calm Naruto.
"Shh baby. Sumi-nee here. Shhh your safe," I held him close to me knowing this was just the beginning. From what we learned the first attacks were meant to kill with the attack so fresh on everyones mind. The next week even some Anbu will defect trying to kill him. We quickly ran behind the Hokage who noted us more openly and a now silent Naruto. "See baby an old man, as sad as it sounds, will protect us," I mummbled seeing the old man twitch. Call it an excuse to being such a stickler for the rules in my past life that I wanted to poke more at the disrespect side I was allowed now. Sumo was stifling his giggles but not very well. "Jiraiya take the children to the tower," The old man was at a breaking point. Nodding the even now giant man easily scooped us into his arms which we didn't protest but I still acted like a kid.
"If you think about hurting Baby I'll bite you," I threatened squeakily as he glance slightly amused and slightly offended at me.
"He's my God Son, Naruto. I won't hurt him," He said and though he probably didn't trust us it was said in that sentance. He wouldn't hurt Naruto but we were a different story. Though he wasn't someone who hurt kids per-say anyways.
"Hurt my Sumi-nee and I'LL bite you and then hit you where we resemble each other as boys," Setsumo-Onii crossed his arms as the Toad Sannin or dad in this life stopped momentarily to stare at Sumo like he was insane. I giggled causing Naruto to Coo and and try to laugh as I gasped happy.
"Aniki! Baby laughed with me see?" I showed Naruto to both men as Naruto smiled and let out a Coo at Sumo who softly smiled he leaned forward softly kissing his forehead.
"Good Baby... Sumi?" He questioned as I felt it to holding him closer. "Mr. Man there's a bad man coming," He said to Jiraiya who stiffened broadning his senses. "Kuromaru. Rikumaru. I'm scared," Sumo whispered playing the kid digging his head into The Toad's neck as his shadow expanded rising from the floor to shape and fade two bigger then horses, black and white bucks was left. "Leave this to us Master Setsumo. Jiraiya... Gampachi has spoken fondly of you. Please continue, we of the Shadow Deer Battle Nation will keep any from harming our summoner if you can get him to safety we will do the work," Kuromaru said seriously as Rikumaru jumped up and down.
"Battle time, battle time, ne-ne-ne-ne-yay, Riku is going to be a ninja deer, ne-ne-ne-ne- I love battle time," The younger brother sing songed as I giggled. Jiraiya nodded jumping over the roofs as we gasped. I held Naruto closer careful of the cold. With his long legs it didn't take long to reach the tower. We sat at first but curiosity is a hard thing to fight as a "child" and when was I ever going to get another chance? Sumo held Naruto as I opened drawers seeing the difference in Tsande's way of organization to the Third's I colored alittle on a blank peice of paper me, Sumo, and Naruto, a rainbow above us I made a typacal childs drawing. I added Riku and Kuro to the side and even Jiraiya and The Third all smiling as stick figures. Before I became bored again and found out what was hidden in the secret compartment. Naruto's comment of the Third being a closet pervert rang in my head. I slipped the book in my pocket looking through more drawers. I didn't care that Jiraiya came back in with food and groaned at the mess I was making. He grabbed me pushing me away from the desk as he tried to straghten up. I just moved to the fileing cabinets. I found a photo-album of the Fourth Minato and Kushina again slipping those in my hidden pockets. I just grabbed a picture of Nara Shikaku when again I heard the door open and Jiraiya picked me up taking another picture out of my hand as I pouted.
"Stop it kid. This is top secret stuff," He said as he set me down. I scurried to the other side of the room opening the file cabinet there. I felt the Anbu by the wall watching me as I pulled out paper if it didn't have picture on it I dropped it on the floor as unintrested as any child would be with just words on a paper. Aha. Hatake Kakashi. I sat down looking at his picture. He was young. Merely fifteen years old now I believe. Jiraiya groand but I rolled out of the way stuffing the paper not so sectretly in my shirt. The Third watched amused smiling at the picture done on his desk as I noted Yamanaka, Nara, and Aikimichi, even Ibiki in the room. Ooh torcher time. Two shadows melded with my brothers undetected as a female Anbu reached in my shirt and pulled out Kakashi's pictures. I huffed crossing my arms pouting more. So not fair. She handed it to Jiraiya. He looked at me an eye brow raised.
"He's a dog, Sumi-nee loves them," Sumo-nii said sleepily from the couch laid out on it with Naruto alseep and drooling on his chest. I smiled going to climb on with him careful of Narto but I sat at his head which he laid on my lap.
"A dog lover hmm? Sumi-chan is it?" The Hokage Sarutobi questioned as I sighed crossing my arms.
"Setsumi and this is my Aniki Setsumo. We call each other Sumi and Sumo because our names are sooooo big," I stretched my arms in example as he nodded.
"What is it that brings you to the Leaf?" He asked as Aniki sat up. He carefully moved Naruto to lay on the couch moving the pillows so he wouldn't roll off. "You are not from here. Are you ninja?" He asked still kind but the underlying steel was there.
"We came because the Farmer and his wife blamed us for the attack from the giant angry fox," He brushed his finger on Naruto's whisker marks smiling softly. "Kuromaru heard from the Toad Chief Gampachi that the Leaf was a good place. Then the Deer Seer Shimara said that we had to find Baby. Or the village would kill him... We've been walking for days. Sumi-nee sensed him as soon as we entered. He was distressed and the crowd outside was full of hate and anger. But we found him alone. No Anbu guard I'm sure you assigned, no Nurse to feed or change him, and no one who cared. The farmers wife had a lot of babies and we were charged with taking care of them even if we were barely babies ourselves. So I changed him and Sumi-nee fed him then we put him to sleep," He explained.
"We are not Ninja. Yet. But we want to be when we're older," I nodded Jiraiya acked as I had snuck over to the cabinet again and was back over folding Kakashi's picture again but his file safely tucked in a pocket. I whined when he put it back and grabbed me setting me by my brother as I huffed.
"How old are you?" Shikaku asked as Aniki looked at him.
"That's hard to explain. Do you mean physically or mentally?" He mummbled. I noted that the Hokage's brow furrowed immensly. So thats were all those wrinkles came from.
"I can explain that," Kuro's voice sounded as he appeared again careful to lay automatically so that his very immpressive rack didn't hit or damage the wall. "Greetings human Kage I am Kuromaru of the Shadow Battle Deer Nation. Young Master Setsumo is my summoner and partner," He said as I climbed to sit on his saddle hugging his neck.
"He summoned you?" Sarutobi questioned amazed as the buck snorted.
"No he is a vessel summoner. He does not need to use his own energy or chakra to summon any of us, to summon me or the army of the nation. The closest way I can explain it is that his shadow is like a door constantly open. It is very rare and not at all common most human beings would die from the mere exposure but he is not most. Only one other is born but the Nara is too young to make the contract... In fact Master Setsumo was as well but such time of violence needs to be set despite the consequences," He sighed glancing back at Setsumo then at me.
"Consequences?" Jiraiya asked voice hard. Aww he was a child person after all. Maybe because of us but I think it was like that in the other time line just more hidden.
"Our contract is not like the other summons of the other world. We of the Nation must live in the summon world but we need to have a summon like Setsumo and in the farther future the Nara boy when he is of proper age... In physical years and somewhat in his mental state Master Setsumo is barely three years and three months old..." They stared at Aniki who had closed his eyes dozing slightly. "But by making the contract with us Battle Deer. He gained knowledge... He has the mentality of a fully grown man. That is the consequence of partnering with us. He is still a child but he will react like a man first. We've blocked all we could but the damage is done. He is Three years old though physically to answer your question. Sadly he allowed his sister to have slight access to be able to be protected by my sister-in-law Saya she too has blocks to prevent her childhood to being distupted but it is the same. She is like a women trapped at times in the body of a child," He finished dully wanting to cover for us as much as possible.
"And you allowed it? You could very much have warped their minds beyond repair!" Yamanaka made himself known as Kuromaru's ears flattened. "They could become unstable, insane at the drop of a hat," He exclaimed Naruto whimpering.
"Mr. or Mrs. Blondie please! Our Baby is trying to sleep so shush!," I chastised as he sputtered at my comment of being male or female. Climbing down to walk in front of him my hands on my hips I tried to look fierce. "Kuromaru-nii and even Princess-nee have done what is needed to ensure that won't happen. Sure I probably know more then I should at this age, speak more bigger words at times, and even speak clearly but I've come to accept it... Aniki accepted because they tried to hurt me very badly... He gave up his own mental age and I know he didn't want to do it to me but the Deer had no choice. If they hadn't my brother and I would have been dead. Through this contract we survived being beaten, locked for weeks in a closet with no food and water, to the attack of the big, big, very BIG fox! they got us out of the way and told us about our new Baby brother. Don't you see? we can help him, we're monsters too! He won't be alone anymore. We are now his family," I chirped but he still looked a little angry and weary of me.
"That is a very unsure thing young Lady. But with your premission Yamanaka-san can make sure that it is safe for Naruto to be with you," Sarutobi said as I looked at him confused then beamed.
"Naruto? Yay Aniki our Baby's name is Naruto, Fish Cake," I giggled climbing over the giant deer summon again to jump on the couch. Sumo-nii's eyes were open and looking at Inochji. "The big man said his name before you silly girl...Is it safe Kuromaru?" He questioned as the deer nodded slightly.
"To an enemy no. But you are not. We had a Yamanaka as a Summoner once. She was kind and very skilled in her clan's Jutsu. Though I will not be able to teach you how to counteract it till your in the academy and your chakra coils are more mature I remember that the viewing of memories was safe as long as the person did not fight co-opperation," The summon replied as Sumo-nii nodded and the deer began to fade sinking back into his shadow. He met the Hokage's eyes.
"Will Naruto be here when we come back? Will you take him from us before we are proven a danger?" He asked as the old man sighed.
"I promised his parents I'd protect him no matter what," He said as we looked at each other and smiled.
"Good. But when we are proven safe I ask you to allow us to be his family. We are the same even if by different circumstances. We may be kids but we can take care of him better then a hate filled villager," He said gently lifting Naruto he kissed his head as I kissed him next. Sliding down he went over to the Hokage and handed the baby over. Then met me as we went to sit in front of Yamanaka. "Kaguya said you are to be trusted. Yama brags about your honor always. The summons are wise about their Summoners. Though loud, the monkey king is good, we will trust you if it means we will finally have a home for us and to get a little brother in Naruto," He finished as I nodded. I remember Kaguya saying she had replaced our former knowledge in the fake "Seal" with our older self. It was to hide us as time travelers. I wondered what our new selves went through. As Ino's dad went through the hand signs the familiar sleepiness filled me. I hated it but I did not resist as I fell asleep senseing Kaguya's chakra begin to work.
When I woke up again I was in a bed and glancing over Naruto was awake and whimpering in a nearby crib. I gasped happily struggling out of my own bed. It meant we were not threats. I peaked in and as soon as Naruto focused on my face he still whimpered but his gummy smile lifted my morning mood. I climbed on a stool and pulled the smaller baby out. He needed to be changed. I pulled the stool over to the changing area senseing a familiar chakra I looked at the area they were at. The familiar feeling of Kakashi and even Tenzo made me wave gently to them as I turned to Naruto quiet effectivally changing him in no time. I noted Sumo-nii sleeping deeply on a small bed as well. If I remember Kaguya's story it was that we were raised by a mean farmer and his miserable wife who was a baby maker. We were mistreated greatly our lives drastically changing when my Chakra striked out at the farmers friend who was sick in the head and paid the farmer to "Spend time with me" for a night. The greedy bad man agreed but my chakra striked out. Thus the whole fiasco of torcher began. Monsters. They'd call us as we protected each other until the day Sumo-nii was bloodied bad and Kuromaru appeared offering him the contract to heal him. But Sumo-nii would only accept if they saved me from the mob of farmers. He did and the contract was formed. Our suffering did not stop but it saved us from constant attepmts for slow deaths of starvation or dehydration. The kyuubi attack was blamed on us and Kaguya appeared to protect us from the angry crowd bent on our deaths we ran all the way to the village. Were my sensing abbilities came in handy as I found Naruto. They then observed the "Blocks" in place and Inochji deemed it able to keep the full "adult mindset" from crushing our "child mindscape". Allowing us to grow normally and healthy but with more awareness then a normal child. Dureing this thought process review I easily fixed a bottle for Naruto he ate as greedily as ever. I observed the room seeing it as a nursery most likly in the Hokage tower made by Minato for Naruto when he had thought that he would be able to live happily with his wife and baby. It was a room of hope and love. I looked down at my Hokage who was content to stare at my face. This innocent face would be marred with trials of life but this time he would not do it alone. I leaned close staring him in his eyes.
"You will be loved," I promised him silently in my head as he smiled arround the bottle's nipple. "Always. And one day you will be a great Hokage. One that shapes history as a man who fights for everyone for the better". My thoughts was a vow he cooed as if knowing what I thought to him as I smiled nuzzling him. He yawned still a very new baby. I set him with Sumo-nii as he cuddled near him as close as his baby body could. I felt the shift to my shadow as our bags popped up. I walked over seeing the singes from the blast. Saya must have pulled them down for us to save it from further damage. I pulled out a screen and set it up in the corner before pulling out small camo black army pants and a mesh shirt with a blue and silver kimono top made by the Deer Nation. I changed easily hiding everything I took last night into the many pockets of my pants for later. Slipping on the mesh shirt under I tied on the top and came back out. I let my hair out of the hat I wore the white hair with a hint of blonde was unreasonably short from the "attack" we suffered from, stuck up in Jiraiya influenced spikes. The bandage on my forehead actually there because I fell and cut my head on a jagged rock. Scared Sumo to death as I rolled down the hill. We were so small. Landing wrong and he'd have been alone. I brushed it lightly looking in a mear I shrugged not really careing. I pulled on some ninja sandles. I then laid out Sumo-nii's clothes and from a small dresser chose a cute doggy onesy for Naruto for when the time came. I folded my Yukata and Kimono I noted we'd have to wash it I pulled back on the hat if only to hide my hair color. I pulled out a small burner and some ramen cups. Setting aside three and put up the rest. I set two in the hidden compartment Kakashi and Tenzo were in before eating one myself quickly. I pulled out crayons and paper drawing as I hummed. It was an hour later that the Hokage and Shikaku Nara came in Inochji and Chouza as well I smiled from my corner. But continued drawing.
"Your brother is a fabulous sleeper it seems. Its already well into the afternoon," Sarutobi mused chuckling at the cute sight Naruto made with Aniki wrapped arround him as they cuddled shamlessly.
"Kaguya says he must have been a Nara in a former life. Or has a soul of one. He constantly says things like "This is so Mendoske" or "Mendoske woman, let me sleep" I find it funny," I chirped being the one who loved seeing my brother being lazy but with alittle more energy then in his former life. Shikaku smirked amused as I giggled. "Kaguya said I had the soul of a scholar which isn't far off. I love learning and find it hard to not know something. But I guess I'm glad because if I knew everything my life would be pretty boring to me. If anything I agree with my brother he doesn't like being bored either," I said standing I moved to put my things away.
"Is that so? Well then I hope you'll find the village intresting," He said as I nodded.
"Oh I will especially when we go to the Academy with Naru-nii," I said knowing that I needed to install that now. Though three years older we would not be leaveing him with the stupidest people to teach him.
"Ara? With Naruto? What if he won't want to be a ninja?" He asked as I snorted.
"Even your not stupid Jiji," I replied slipping into the name Naru-nii would call him "The council will want him to be an idiot. Setting him up for failure. But failures are easily manipulated. If anything I won't allow its Naru-nii to feel like a tool. With the fact that he has a very big thing in him he has to be prepared just like me and Sumo-nii are getting ready for our own, in our own way. If anything we will ensure his success," I chirped skipping over to him. "So what brings you here Jiji? Did you miss us already?" I asked looking at him as he tried to get Jiji through his head. I knew they took a blood sample for health reasons and Saya will intervene long enough for at least several years to have passed before they even think out cross refferencing the DNA when we begin to resemble our parents and even a hat couldn't hide it.
"Actually I was asked to make an offer. You see Shikaku's wife Yoshino-san heard about you and has asked if you and your brother and Naruto would like to stay in the Nara compound. But the Aikimichi's and Yamanaka's have offered the same," He said "I understand if you need to wait for your brother to descide but I was thre- I mean asked very convincidly to at least make the offer". He sweat dropped as I giggled. Go Yoshino-nee. "I don't know if you realized it yet Jiji but Sumo-nii doesn't make an effort alot of times. I only have one question and if that is if the Clan heads realize what taking all three of us will intel? Not only will the other Clans begin to accuse them of trying to gain Naruto for power purposes but they will find it unfair. If the Clans have businesses and people find out about Naruto then it will surely begin to get stiffled. Not to mention soon the village will learn from our own actions that we are not to be triffled with which will lead to lots of paperwark not only for them but you... I plan on making sure any who want to harm my litte Omouto-chan realizes why my brother himself listens to me the first time I tell him to do something," I chirped as the Hokage tried not to gasp in horror at the thought of the already never ending paperwork continuing. I smiled innocently "I suspect your paperwork will triple in size I don't do things half way or on the down low," I giggled as I did find it hilarious that the pale and sweaty face of the Hokage turned slightly green. The Clan heads didn't know if giggling would lead them to getting in trouble with said Hokage and to not would lead to not winning over me, the little girl.
"We are aware but you needn't need to worry about those things. But your knowledge of the situation is sound. My wife and I run a resturaunt but I can assure you now that if citizens and some shinobi stop coming because of our offer we still feed three clans. Even my own comes and yes they pay. It wouldn't hurt anything," Chouza-oji said as I nodded.
"And Aio would be the first to personally kick out or beat anyone causing trouble. My wife is a spitfire. Also we mainly sell flowers as a front. Our other business is again with our three clans and even the Aburame and Inuzuka's. It won't matter if a few people come in to cause trouble we'll just charge them double," Inochji-oji winked as I giggled.
"We Nara's own an apothicary but we supply Anbu and Shinobi not the citizens unless through the hospital and with lady Tsande going to be gone they can't afford to stop the supply now," Shikaku said as I nodded but couldn't say yes not quiet figureing what it was bothering me. If I chose then it would be damage somehow. When I wanted none.
"Does it have to be so complex?" A sleepy voice asked as I turned with them to view Sumo-nii had change and was settling his hat back on. "I'm not trying to make it more Mendoske but the only thing I have a problem with is the fact that each of your families have children of your own, also babies. Having us, even with us being the way we are and another baby with a target on his head could mean endangering your own children. Its something we can't honestly by pass. Yes you can assure us nothing will happen but that can't be known. If you had a choice which child would you save. Naruto or your own children?" Sumo-nii asked putting his hands in his pockets he let his honey brown eyes meet each of the heads who looked uncertain. "I mean no disrespect. But it is not safe not for you and not for your own children. We can not accept. Not when the attack is so close and fresh in the mind. Some will do anything in their selfish version of vengence. They may even see us with you and mistake your own children as Naruto. If something were to happen. Sumi-nee and I could not forgive ourselves and in the future it will tear Naruto in two... I'd like to continue to be friends of the clans if possible with access to either of the compounds for emergencies but other then that any other thing has too many contingencies to count or counteract," He said as I smiled nodding. He looked at me and nodded back. Yes he hated making the decisions but this time his stagigic mind played for the better part as I smiled. He was Konoha's Hokage's right hand man and head stragigist for a reason before. Though now he and I had to grow to be something else it would not change that we'd grow for our Hokage.
"I guess its descided isn't it Aniki?" I whispered as he nodded. I turned to them smiling. "You'll soon wish that you never met me Oji-sans please watch us grow with pride. We'll come arround so much that you'll grow tired of us. But we won't be living with you. We're getting an appartment," I chirped skipping over to a still sleeping Naruto I dressed him. Lifting him I opened the window a giant Doe appearing Spiral antlers on her head with jewels dangling from them I put Naruto in the baby carrier facing into my chest and wrapped a blanket arround him. I smiled. "See you for dinner at the Aikimichi's Jiji, Oji-sans, Anbu-sans," I called happily as Sumo-nii jumped out Kuromaru appearing below him as I climbed into my saddle I grabbed the reigns. With whoops of joy Saya jumped high into the air easily chakra scaleing the buildings we cheered and laughed leaving a stunned group behind. I smiled at Setsumo who smirked. As we stopped below a very different monument then the one we knew we raised our fists to the faces of old, I stared at the Fourth head and my eyes hardened as I swore. "To protect my brother, my village, my Hokage, and the future! That is my Ninja Way and by the leaves of the village my will is burning brightly" I yelled in my mind as Saya nodded turning quickly she jumped and our fight for the future truelly commenced.
